Ingredients
- 1 can of black beans (400 g/ 14.1 oz.), drained
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of cumin
- 1 small bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- 2 cups of vegetable stock
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
-
Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent (5-7 minutes).
-
Add the black pepper, cumin, bell pepper, paprika, and oregano and sauté for about 1 minute to let the flavours blend together.
-
Next, add the drained black beans and sauté for another minute.
-
Reduce the heat to low and add the vegetable stock - you may need to add more stock depending on the consistency of the soup.
-
Simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes or until the beans are soft and the soup has reached your desired consistency.
-
When the soup is almost done, stir in the parsley and simmer for the remaining 5 minutes.
-
To make the soup extra yummy, take a spoon and mash some of the beans in the pot to make a thicker soup.
-
Optional For a creamier soup, add 1/2 cup of coconut cream at the last step before serving!
